My Nonprofit Reviews

I work for Villa Musica as a strings teacher (mostly violin).

About half my job takes place at our main campus in Sorrento Valley. I teach group classes and private lessons to happy students of all ages!

The Sorrento Valley campus is inaccessible to some families because of distance, scheduling, costs, etc. So the other half of the time, I'm out at various other locations! usually teaching violin, often at no cost to the student! Last quarter I taught violin classes at various libraries (weekday afternoons and Saturday mornings are popular). And during the school day, I travelled to a couple local high schools, providing extra help to their orchestra classes.

Villa Musica is great - students and their families love our instruction (and other musical services), and I love having an important and fulfilling job.

I teach for Villa Musica's community Outreach and Enrichment programs!

Before Villa Musica, my program was called "The San Diego After-School Strings Program". When the previous manager of the program died, Villa Music took over, kept it going, and even expanded it year after year with more instruments provided, more hours, and another campus served

I'm most proud of our work with Our Lady of Guadalupe and Our Lady of Angels Catholic schools in Sherman Heights. Students there have up to two hours a week of after-school violin instruction. Some go as far as joining San Diego Youth Symphony!
